How many bhp an engine can produce is pretty irrelevant since 99% of the time you are probably only using a fraction of that on the road - I have a 6.5 ton lorry with a 4 cylinder 4 litre engine that produces a mere 85 bhp and it drives just fine....

I also have a 1 ton MGB with a 3.6 litre V8 that produces 200 bhp I very rarely use more than a quarter throttle, maybe 50 / 60 bhp.

The best things about the V8?? - the burble exhaust note and no need to change gear so often, it will do 30 mph to 120 mph in top gear.
