Huge 8.8-litre V8 March 717 rumbles up Goodwood hill
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 тра 2020
- The humongous March 717 is almost as big as the Goodwood Festival of Speed presented by Mastercard hillclimb and is powered by a ridiculous 8.8-litre Chevrolet V8. A development of the 707 there is only one 717 in existence, designed to race in the formidable Can-Am championship back in 1971 #FOS #V8 #CanAm

Maybe it needs a few more litres...
Maybe round it up to 10 litre should be enough 😅
Maybe the injector pipes need to be taller !!! LOL
Chevy powered CanAm cars honestly made the earth shake. The first time I felt it I thought it was the start of an earthquake. They are literally ground pounders.
@@RjIONAz Was always a fan of Jim Hall.
Mike I was lucky enough to to have grown in that era. Better yet my second oldest sister married a Guy that hauled me along all over North America to SportsCarRaces. I got to shake a lot of hands and almost all of them were bigger than life.
What a BEAST. That's over one liter per cylinder!
Good observation. Wow those are huge pistons!
Bem Partington ...nasty boy
Like they took a bunch of Harley engines and bolted together in a row..
My truck/hgv/lkw is a 9,3 L straight six.
Although, I recently read about a 10,5 litre racing engine. No not from the 20's, American muscle circa 1988.. it was for sale, last year tho
@@mortenfrosthansen84 in drag racing BIG engines are the norm.
Naturally aspirated engines with nitro injection need to be big to compete with forced induction machines.
An elite NA engine for Pro Mod would typically be around 864-950 cubic inches, or 14-15 liters. There are some above 16.
There are engine blocks designed for street use too around those figures, although the majority are like 454, 540, 632 c.i.
@@niebuhr6197 yeah.. and there are even larger lorry engines and then there's bigger tank engines and then airplane engines and then ship or generator engines.. we can go as big as you want
For the fellow Americans, that 8.8 liter Chevy motor is a big block stroker-motor of 537 cubic inches.
That's a weird displacement, isn't it? What's the combination to produce that?
Aren't Top Fuel engines 540ci as well?
@@DaveyGa Top Fuel. Not car
@@DaveyGa Top Fuel limited to 500 C.I. NHRA Pro Mod goes to 540 C.I.
@@JayRussellDuramax Stroke X bore = displacement
I'm laughing at the people who are complaining that this 8.8 liter car...the only one in the world...was not being driven quickly enough.
Probably would have been able to drive faster if he had warm tires.
Im guessing but a little more throttle would overpower everything. Tires, steering, etc.
Now that's good old fashioned big bore grunt. The exhaust burble stirs the soul.
ok boomer
Go back to your chess game, soy boy
They will never make cars like this again, and it’s a cryin’ shame
Glad they're still driven
Agreed...I hate watching cars sit in showrooms, never driven, just kept for "an investment".
Vintage Can-Am is some absolutely mad stuff, and I love it. Formula 5000 is in the same vein.
The Chaparral team was crazy innovative. Almost as crafty as Chapman
That noise is glorious
The way that it has been filmed just isn't showing how fast the car goes. I was watching it amble up the hill, thinking "That looks like me driving my Ford Fiesta," and then he went through the speed trap and ONE HUNDRED AND FOUR MILES PER HOUR? Say what?
Glorious rumble
Reading about the displacement of this engine surprises me, as I've been out of the motorsports loop since the mid-1970s, where I recall back then that Chevy squeezed 511 cubic inches/8.4 liters out of their race engines. But to bump it up to 8.8? Amazing!
This thing has the power of 8 Mini 998's + an old 850 for grins all balled up in one motor - just crazy.
Bet he had a full tank of gas at the beginning and was 1/4 full after the finish
Imagine how Can-Am would run today.
Music to my ears.
That huge engine in an......egg box....cool!
Great Sound. Love it.
No hybrid Will never sound like that. Awesome
tbh it would if it had a big block v8 strapped to motors etc!
Of course ... :-/
I duno, a Deltic diesel electric sounds pretty huge.
@@Margarinetaylorgrease deltic Diesel? Sorry I don't understand
The Big Block Chevy engine dominated the Can-Am series...right up until Porsche showed up with their 5 liter twin turbo flat 12
I'm a Pontiac man through and through. I bleed Pontiac blue. I have to hand it to the chevrolet engineers. They built powerful engines at an affordable cost. You put a pontiac and chevrolet engine side by side on teardown, there's no question which is stronger and more durable. Pontiac! You can almost set your watch by when a chevrolet valve cover will start leaking oil and the #7 cylinder will start fouling plugs. But damn.....you can coax so much power out of a BBC with not a lot of effort or money. The secret sauce was the canted valve train, big vales, and the intake ports angled for a straighter shot of air. Chevrolet even marketed this back in the 60's as a "Turbo Fire V-8". The Chrysler hemi will always reign supreme in that era's V-8s due to its structural integrity but it was a complicated and expensive design. The BBC wasn't any more complicated than the SBC and probably didn't cost a lot more for Chevrolet to manufacture it either, over the SBC. A high compression BBC with square port heads and 4 bolt mains is a serious street machine. In modern tune with stud girdle, roller rockers, roller lifters, cross bolt mains, and over sized valves; it's a beast.
You're probably right, but Chevrolet is French for "spun bearings" ;)
It does seem that the Pontiacs are a bit better sorted. I like the Fords a lot also.
Electric Cars , not in my life !! Rock on V8's
I miss the Can-Am series.
Wow !!!
saw a can am porsche 917/10 at the 24 hours of daytona about twenty years ago. twin turbo flat 12 cyl. over 1100hp, 0-60 in 1.6 sec.
Chevy Thunder!
Yeesh, damn thing wouldn’t be able to drive over a nickel. Awesome to watch
This was quite a random recommendation, but man this thing seems like an oversized go-kart, not saying that's a bad thing though! 😂
Big Bangers, WOW! Super. 😵😨😲😮😆😉🦊
Thanks Goodwood Mclarens Can-Am is my personal favourite hint hint 😉😉
You mean this car? ua-cam.com/video/aZiDSlLI55w/v-deo.html
@@GoodwoodRR wow thanks very much 😘
Has the 9.4 litre Group 5 Corvette ever been to goodwood?
They don't allow Corvettes or Shelby's in England.
@@alexcooke9805 Is that true?
@@Foxxnioxx I don't know for sure but I've never seen a Corvette or Shelby go up the hill.They have invited Jim Hall with his chaparral the sucker car to go up the hill.
572 cubic inches💯
@@alexcooke9805 what are u talking about? definately seen plenty of chevys and corvettes going up the hill over my last 25ys of attendance!
To fix all forms of car racing THIS class should be brought back! Real engines, no hybrid bullshit trickery.
upside downdog hybrids are faster though
@@deeznoots6241 and still less interesting to watch.
@@rennkafer13 art vs science
@@tesmith47 Ya, no science involved in making that Can-Am chassis/engine. Smdh.
And a 🅱️8 ENGINE
You don't need to say "huge" and "8.8 liters." 8.8 liters tells the reader that it's huge.
Not a huge fan of the carbon this thing spews out, but damn it sounds so flipping good and rockets up the hill like it has a rocket up it's rear.
What an incredible vehicle and driven very fast for something that truly is a one-of-one example car.
Great driving, amazing car, gorgeous sound.
Too bad they only have one in existence, I would love to give it a 12 lap stint around Laguna Seca, foot to the floor, dragging the rear end around the last corner before the home straight with maximum determination to put all the pony's to good use.
To think, a four cylinder with this spec would be 4.4L!!! So even if it were cut in half it would still be larger displacement than some V8's!!! What a monster.
Can Am cars 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩👍🏻
This makes me proud of being American
Proud being a door wedge?
tarek midnite damn right boy
Ironically there's a lot of American that don't count you of being an American....lmao...........
What real cars look like...
He’ll yea brother
These goodwood videos are great. I just can't take the to guys yammering on over top.
0:15 No, my friend, that's not horsepower. That's big-block naturally-aspirated V8 TORQUE. No replacement for displacement!
spoiler alert! P = T * ω
Reminds me of the Radical track car.
My 2004 Chevy Suburban has an 8.1 liter gas engine. From the factory. 8.1 liter=494 cubic inches.
Can-Am was one GREAT series. At least until Porsche/Penske killed it with their 917-30k.
😍
Speeeeeeeeeeedy
Any power figures?
Rumba, rumba.
nice, dude 🎈 🎊 🐿 ✌ 👻
I wish I was around in the days of can am. McLaren is the best 🙃
This is a Chevy not a McLaren!!
@@craigscott5661 and. I never said it was a McLaren
Just head out to some of the Vintage Racing events. Not sure which country you live in however in the U.S and Europe they ha e regular Can Am Car racing events. They’re freaking epic machines on a big track like Road America ✌️
@@craigscott5661 ... it's a March, with a Chevrolet engine. McLaren also empoyed Chevrolet engines in Can Am cars.
Renault Espace F1 s'il vous plaît
Modern DTM cars:2 Litre turbo.
Old race cars:8.8Litre V8.
Me:Ehm..ok.
700-800Hp in 6.500Rpm?
Do you have any closer car specs?
they weight as much kg as the output in hp :D can am was basically unlimited class . no restictions. well they came later ....but :D. also just a fun fact the first flip as the merc didn on lemans was done with a can-am car.
They made 750-800 HP back in the 70s.
With current technology an 8.8 V8 running on pump gas can make even more.
Now you'r talkiin
I bet the MPG on this is illegal in some places.
537 cubic inches.💯
I realise that they’re commentators but, couldn’t they shut up for just a bit and let us actually listen to the car!!
0:09 to 0:17 "1sec up that's hp for you"... ummm no, that's called torque sir.
No replacement for displacement
That’s nothing more than a Go Kart track
Isn't it Lord March's driveway?
It's a shame the dude wasn't fast enough I know he could've taken a few corners faster than 20mph
COMMENTATOR, SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!!!
American technology, make it bigger lol
tesicnr nasty boy
"that's horsepower for you" actually no, that's torque.
Firsssstststs
He didn't wind it up and he short shifted. Find a man with CanAmSizedBalls and see what number he can put down.
Any driver willing to push his luck in a car that is the only one of its kind and irreplaceable is not the sort of idiot you'd want anywhere near it!
It's a 50-year old, one of a kind chassis. The aluminum big block Chevy is one of less than 100 ever produced from a very special alloy and doesn't have cylinder liners. The company that built it and the series it raced in both no longer exist. The drawings, tooling, parts, and people to produce a vast majority of this car do not exist. It is the definition of priceless, irreplaceable, and irreparable. The man who owns it can afford to lose it, but the real value of the car is for us to see and hear it at speed; even if it's only 90% that's better than 0% if some moron goes full-send and puts it into the wall. There's hours of CanAm footage out there if you want to see them really have at it.
Yet did you notice the Bread Van or a number of 250 GTO's racing hard within fractions of contact with Jaguars and Cobra's. Last time checked one or all of those cars were much more valuable and were truly being pushed hard. I'm not suggesting the McLaren be pushed to an inch of it's life, but it could very well be pushed beyond 5500 revs.
@@RjIONAz The owner of the car calls the shots.
@@RacerX-124 I would guess he does. I was just pointing out the poor showing for such an outstanding car. Maybe if the owner of the car had an experienced CanAm driver the car would have gone up the drive with a bit of flare. It was better in the show and shine.
It’s like driving miss daisy. Get a proper driver behind the wheel
