The March 717 was a British Group 7 sports prototype racing car, built by March Engineering in 1970 for the Can-Am series. As with all other full-size Can-Am cars of the time, it used a large-displacement, mid-mounted, 537 cu in (8.80 L), naturally-aspirated, Chevrolet big-block V8 engine, making 800 hp (600 kW). Like its predecessor, it was driven by legendary New Zealand racing driver, Chris Amon.[1][2][3][4][5]
