The March 741 is a Formula One car, designed, developed and built by March Engineering for the 1974 season, powered by a 3.0 L (180 cu in) Cosworth DFV engine. Although more successful than its predecessor, the March 731, it failed to finish any higher than fourth place.[2][3][4][5]

Following the dismal performance of the previous season's 731, designer Robin Herd based the 741 on the monocoque and suspension of the 732, March's successful Formula Two car. He moved the radiators to the side and the oil cooler to the rear.[6]
