If they can push V8 performance numbers on paper while providing a 4 banger like ride they will succeed more than by just reaching some magic hp number to appease the market. 370hp on a 2800lb car would probably feel like more than 415hp on a 3200lb car.
That said, the real goal should be, 12.5 second quarters, staying above 1g, improving torque response and building a lightweight platform with grippy tires and wide wheel width... Which hp number does it? That's a secondary issue.


Although "wide" is not a great thing for road going cars overseas as when I was in Japan the lanes and roads are a little on the narrow side.
