Lamborghini subsequently determined that several additional vehicles may have been affected, including those produced between November 20, 2023, and July 26,…

This V8, a 283 cubic inch engine, marked the beginning of the Nova’s transformation into a muscle car.

The Nova also received the 396 cubic inch big block V8, capable of producing up to 375 horsepower. This engine put the Nova SS on par with iconic muscle cars…
