Turbos may be a nice cheap way of making an engine of a given output,

Youre ignoring the weight/volume penalty of a large N/A engine as
opposed to a turbo engine. What weight engine would you need to replace
a 600 hp 2 litre three cylinder engine?

More to the point, who would want a crude 3 cylinder engine in a decent
road car anyway?
Irrelevant to my point about weight.
And of course that vehicle is a hybrid. So you get the
weight penalty from the electric motor and battery pack.
True, but the engine still produces 600 hp from a very neat 2 litres
package.
