Possibly, but you need not run a car for the full season to be competitive at Le Mans. See Ben Keating, he has the AMG GT3 car for the full season, and is running a P2 car at Le Mans. Scuderia Corse is doing the same, albeit a 488 GT3 and GTE/LM are at least in the same family.
As I recall VFR was pursuing a DPi program fairly hard (not Cadillac) and lost out on it. The manufacturer was very likely to work with the Riley-Multimatic.
