Why does sports cars with V6 and V8 engines not have more horsepower?

I’m always wondered. Since a V8 engine from 20 years ago makes rougly the same as a I4 can produce today, how come we aren’t seeing more 500+ hp sports cars?

Not sure where you’re looking there are tons of 500hp cars, like even Hyundai has a 400+hp genesis…HYUNDAI!, when I was a kid their offering was a 170hp tiburon.

You can get a factory 500hp sports cars at the mustang gt 350 level for like $60,000 now, when I was a kid you had to spend $150,000 worth of 90’s dollars to get a Lamborghini Diablo to not even crest over the 500hp mark and the interior sucked.

What you’re seeing for offerings is what the market can bear, hp is a lot cheaper than it used to be but it’s still not free, just between fuel consumption and insurance it never will be.
