Well, it's not that simple, is it? You could remove the current engines and put a V12 in there of the same power, achieving approximately the same speed, but at a much-reduced cost.
If you want to go faster within a set of regulations it'll cost more. But when you're talking about things like differing engine sets you're comparing different regulations, and you can most certainly build a regulation set that'll allow you to go quicker for less money.
