There is a big difference between announcing that cars will be built and actually building them. Not so long ago HPD announced that they are to build new P1 coupes will all kinds of (non)hybrid options available in hope that customers will materialize. A few months later it turns out that customers are there but cars won't be build in time for Le Mans, let alone WEC round1, and that hybrid versions are to be expected only in 2015... because they pulled the trigger too late... apparently waiting for customers to commit (contrary to what has been said in the original announcement).
