Definately, Just think of the combustion in bigger cylinders. It will be less homogeneous because of the spark from the spark plug will be smaller compared to the amount of gas that has to combust.
And I think that the dissipation of heat will be a greater issue: An engine that is 2 times bigger has 2^3 times more volume (and let's say displacement), but it has only 2^2 times more surface to the outside world for the heat to get out. Ofcourse you can enlarge the radiators, but you will come to a point that upscaling is not enough.
Well it is harder for a bigger displacement engine to achieve higher revs... the C6R engine makes around 700 hp at around 6-7000 rpm but makes about 400 lbs. of torque. And this is before the air restrictor. I'm sure if somebody posted the hp eqn. it might help
Bring back wider rear wings, V10s, and tobacco advertisements
lets think about a 2 litre 4 cylinder engine and a 5 litre 10 cylinder one. you can get 200 hp out of a free aspirating 2 litre engine at a modest cost(honda type r) whereas 500 hp out a a lambo v10 is already a really neat piece of engineering, and a v10 has better revving charachteristics than a straight four, by far, and the displacement per cylinder is the same(500cc). how come?

Simon: [on the phone] John... in the back of the truck you're driving, there's $13 billon dollars worth in gold bullion. I wonder would a deal be out of the question?
John McClane: [on the phone] Yeah, I got a deal for you. Come out from that rock you're hiding under, and I'll drive this truck up your ass.
Pyry, yo uhave ot remember that a Honda 4 cylinder engine is built for mass consumption, where no matter what vehicle it is place din, it is expected to give a long and reliable life. Whereas, a lambo is pure exotic, high performance is demanded. So reliability is much less. The Lambo engine is designed and runs at a higher level of performance that a Honda 4.

B.S.
The Ford Fiesta RS Turbo has an engine with 1597 cc of displacement and gives you 133 bhp. This means 85 BHP per litre without any tuning. Close enough for me.
you missed my point, my point was that the bhp per litre is the same, although the lambo is higher tuned and a hell of a lot more expensive, how come this?
