300+hp is the norm out of a 2.0 Turbo 4, and it’s also the standard output out of 3.0-3.5l NA V6.
A 300-350hp out of a V8 is under powered.

Micky Bly discussed this at the press event for the new Hurricane Four. He started out at GM, and one of the first engine programs he was involved with as a young engineer was the LT-1 edition of the small block Chevy around 1990. It was a big deal for them to achieve 300hp out of the 350 inch V8 back around 35 years ago. Now the team in the CTC have a 2 liter four cylinder with 324hp.

(It's in the video on the first post of this thread.)

I think you missed the point.

If all they want is 325 HP, they could do that with a small V8 more easily, with less emissions, and better longevity.

Look at Ford F-250. They're getting "only" 435 HP from 7.3 liters. BUT...the reason is because that allows the engine to last forever by keeping pressures down in the engine and forces lower on the bearings. The engine can cruise along, make its power, output less emissions, and serve the consumer for years.

Same principle could apply to cars and SUVs. They could do a 4.5 liter V8, make the power they want, and benefit emissions and the consumer.

It's not about what an engine CAN output. These little bitty turbo engines are like a guy at the gym who is clearly on juice. Yeah, he can lift a lot of weight with veins popping out everywhere, but he isn't going to live very long.

It isn’t only emissions. It’s also efficiency.
Many companies have been producing 300+hp out of 2.0l for years, and many of them have been proven reliable.
HD engines in F-250 and the likes are built for specific purpose, and they don’t serve the same purpose on lighter vehicles or sports cars.
