If you just look at hp and displacement 3l is plenty to work with.
The F1 engines in the late 1980s generated over 1000hp with 1.5l engines ( 666hp/liter ).

It's when you want to balance a relatively lag free, very powerful and sufficently cooled and reliable engine that it starts to hurt with a smallish engine.
