They did give a formal statement in the end. They said that the game was running at 22 fps and that releasing it would essentially be suicide, since the money it would take to release it costs more than simply cutting it. They also said that they wouldn't recover the money if they had to optimize it.
In terms of funding, the game was mainly funded by pc owners. Those who lost out were in the minority that contributed for last gen. But they knew full well that they could lose that money (this is the nature of crowdfunding)

I don't think it was fair to cancel the game after all the talk that Project Cars would be the Wii U's Forza. They Hyped the Wii U version, even though they couldn't deliver. Really shit move. The developers lied to people who contributed.

They didn't lie though. In the end, they said exactly what was wrong and why they weren't going to continue.
If they were in it for the money, they could have released a shit game that runs at 22 fps and have unaware people buy the game. Instead they were honest unlike third party devs that release shit and never bring another game to a Nintendo console

Yes, they did lie. It was shameful. Hopefully they'll never bring a game to a Nintendo Console.

at what point did they lie? They wanted to bring the game, they tried (had it running at 22 fps), they saw that the costs were outweighing the revenue, they released info on the cancellation and moved on.
They did the exact same for the ps3 and 360, this isn't them hating Nintendo, this is them working as a BUSINESS. This is what happens. You can whine and say they lied, but if they're losing money, then it makes sense to not push through a project.
And no they didn't take people's money. The game was already funded by pc gamers
