Law of motion. The faster something moves or spins the more friction that is built up. The more friction, the more power needed to overcome said friction.

When it's all said and done, a 600hp engine will create twice as much friction and rotational forces among all moving parts and tires as a 300hp engine. Twice as much friction means you need twice as much power to overcome said friction.
