Wrecked 2013 XKR-S available in Oregon
I'm not sure I could feel any worse about wrecking my car, but at least nobody was injured. I got the car sideways on merge lane (empty highway), it then hooked up and went forward into the Jersey barrier off the right shoulder. The engine was still running, stopped normally, and there was a slow coolant leak (not sure if it's radiator or intercooler) so I have not attempted to drive it. I have Torque app data showing that it did not overheat. I had it pulled onto a rollback tow truck and transported to a shop, which is a few blocks from my house. It will restart.
Here's a link to photos of the car taken at the crash site and at the body shop yesterday morning. It was rained on there and now dirty, but it's all closed up. I disconnected the battery. Obviously all front bodywork is heavily damaged. Windshield is cracked. Bodywork from doors back, including all glass and paint, is perfect. Interior is perfect other than steering wheel airbag deployed. Wheels except for left front are in excellent condition, no curb rash. Left front doesn't appear to be bent, probably repairable. Car is 100% stock, except that the original large muffler box was replaced with two Borla mufflers.

Here are some photos I took last November, obviously before the crash. Car was still in same condition immediately before crashing.

I have a clean title in hand. Repair cost is likely at least replacement value. Lots of good parts on this car, but I'd prefer to sell it as it sits rather than part it myself. I'm about 1 hour east of Portland, Oregon. Send me a PM if you're interested or have any ideas for how I can sell it. Thanks.

Good piece of luck that no one was hurt. As for the car It would depend on the insurance carrier on the disposition of it. Some companies allow you to buy the car at the totaled value while others will give you agreed value and take the car and auction it off as salvage. So I guess the OP will find out what the insurance estimator will say.

Brutal. But if you're typing, I guess you're OK. If you decide to part it out, put me down for the wing and mid pipes, and possibly front seats, but I'd have to sit in them first (I'd come to you to pick up the other two things) to see if the difference between my them and my XKR seats are worth whatever you'd ask.

Your insurance company will decide whether or not it is "repairable." If they decide it is not repairable they will give you $$ based upon their low-ball estimate of value, which, I assure you, is not based upon "Blue Book." My own personal experience with a totaled car here in OR is worth sharing with you: I sought out an appraiser in Portland. For $500 he appraised my vehicle. It was a Hyundai Genesis sedan. Appraiser could not find local "comparables", so I supplied him with all the comparable vehicles then on Autotrader and Cars.com. The matter went to arbitration, under OR law. Insurance company had to present its own appraisal. Arbitrator awarded me the value on my appraisal plus the $500 I had spent on appraisal fees.
