The Kickstarter for Carmageddon: Reincarnation quickly reached the funding goal of $400 000. Unfortunately the bar for Linux and Mac ports of the game was set considerably higher, at $600 000. Now, with about two days left it looks to be a close shave if that goal is to be reached.
If the stretch goal isn't reached all might not be lost. In a recent AMA on Reddit the developers, Stainless, explained that they plan to continue to take pre-orders via Paypal and add this towards the total sum. They also mentioned that they see this as an opportunity to go cross-platform for other titles based on the same technology. Perhaps funding Carmageddon should be seen as less of chance to get a native vehicular manslaughter sim and more of an opportunity to set a company on the right cross-platform path?

There's usually a big spike of of pledges at the start and beginning of Kickstarter runs, so it isn't all that surprising.
