Right there what you quoted 'dual overhead camshafts.' In order for a
V-engine to have DOHC, it would have to have two per bank, or at least
that's been the convention as long as I have cared about cars (more than
40 years). One camshaft per bank is a single overhead camshaft engine
which is what the 12-valve Alfa V-6 is.
