The March 707 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, 457–502 cu in (7.49–8.23 L), naturally-aspirated, Chevrolet big-block V8 engine, generating between 680–800 hp (510–600 kW). It was driven by New Zealand racing driver, Chris Amon.
