So much so, he defected to the German companies.<\/p>\n<p>While the 12C&#8217;s racing career seemed over, Alfa Romeo tried once more, refining the chassis, sometimes using a remarkable 16 cylinder engine derived from twin Alfetta 158 engines. As in the years previous the cars didn&#8217;t work, and Alfa later focused on the Alfetta, selling off the four or so V12 cars.<\/p>\n<figure class='gallery-item'>\r\n            <div
