Personally im not so sure GM will come back so soon though, its only been 5 years since the Cadillac programme finished.

Prodrives expertise is engineering production cars, not sure they could build a prototype in-house, so badging a Lola is an option.
Even a company as large as Nissan contracted Lola to build them a Group C car.
Depending on who you speak to P&M have got there wish as the P1 car is a goer.
