Impossible to tell from those pictures, but probably not unless it got into the front crossframe / suspension

Reminds us all these are powerful cars that need respect on the gas pedal. Or things can go bad quickly!

My 2015 was similar to that guy pulled out in front of me zero time to brake hit going 45mph. It bent the front frame just a hair but broke the suspension control arm. My driver door wouldn’t open that was a bad sign. Also pushed back the front crush frame in which is normal. I had a good shop I know do my estimate they are on State Farm’s adjuster list damage was nearly 30k so they totaled it. You may not be there as others say frame damage is really what they will look for.

No way to tell from pictures so you will have to let us know the answer.

Like others said if the frame is bent it’s toast. Also more and more now insurance companies are totalling vehicles if both air bags deploy.

That's probably best for you, assuming the insurance company gives you a decent price for it. They're likely to try to low-ball you first.

I agree with the others it's best that they totaled it. Even if it could be repaired would you really trust it to be the same? It's just a car which can be replaced. Hopefully, you were able to walk away without injury which is all that really matters.
