Is it Alfa Romeo? I know their 115 flat-12 was also used on sportscars but what's the street car connection?

It was indeed Alfa Romeo, but not the flat-12.

Alfa Romeo briefly returned to Formula One for the 1970 and 1971 seasons with a V8 engine based on their sportscar unit. In 1970 the unit was mainly entrusted to Andrea de Adamich, a long time Alfa driver, in a third works McLaren. The combination often failed to qualify and was uncompetitive when it did run in the races. In 1971 a similar arrangement saw de Adamich run most of the second half of the season in a works March car, with a similar lack of success.

1971 French GP. It was a special date as it was the day after Tom Cruise's 9th birthday
