Trackmania 2 for Mac?

The Wikipedia article for Trackmania 2 Canyons is mentioning a Mac OS-X port. I can not find it quoted anywhere, so it's most likely false. Is it?
I've already bought the game, but it would be nice to play it on my laptop (although on a lower graphical setting).
If it is not true, could someone who does have a Wikipedia account (I would, but Wikipedia thinks "Wolfos" is too much like "Wolf05") correct it?

TrackMania has never been released for other platforms than PC (except for DS and Wii but under a different developer) and won't ever be released for other platforms
Nadeo is a small studio and therefore can't port games to other consoles very well as this would mean doing all the development again.
Wikipedia also says TrackMania is using the Unreal Engine^^

Mytoys (little TMX joke ^^) is right. However, you can use Bootcamp to play TM2.

Yeah, I know I can use Bootcamp and I wasn't expecting them to port anyway (I know Nadeo is a small studio), just a little fact check.
Thanks!

I can play TrackMania Nations Forever on my Mac inside VMware Fusion at max settings. I'm hoping I can do something similar with TrackMania 2. Actually, I'll find out soon enough since I just pre-ordered haha.
Although I *did* notice one odd thing. Despite the downloads for the multiplayer are exe files and whatnot. The page says:
Once the file has been downloaded, you can install your game by double-clicking on the dmg file.
Anyone with a Mac would know dmg files are for OS X.... so something interesting is going on here.

I have the same problem when i try to launch the game with VMWare Fusion 4 :/
Edit: But it works wonderful with Paralles, almost the same performance as bootcamp.
