This is absolutely not the case. Horsepower is only part of the equation. Aerodynamics, however, dictates how much power is needed achieve higher speeds.

A Boxster has a much smaller frontal area and probably (though not definetely) a better coefficient of drag than the 300C.

This is why bullets are shaped like bullets and not like, well you know, bricks.
