It might be a big accident that gotten this chassis to the scrapyards but this is a result it it going through a compactor.

That is damage way beyond a crash maybe a tank or monster truck drove over it several times.

Maybe but the crushed cars I've seen being hauled on a truck looked much neater. That car is a mangled mess with random parts tossed on top.

if i had to guess it looks like it hit something on the front left corner at a super high speed, then tumbled off roof first from a very high distance, over a bridge or something. also sometimes cars get ridden over by big tractor trailers. perhaps squish from both ends. traffic comes to a stop and 18 wheelr comes from behind

Any chance of salvaging the triple beam headlights?

The Turtle Wax Ceramic coating didn't work well.

As a Philly cop I've seen some doozers but this looks like a fatal...
I don't think this car was compacted.

The only way I can tell it's an ES is the wheels. Where did you get these pictures?

This is the ESF. Major weight reduction starting with elimination of the massive front grill and the best drag coefficient with a streamlined body.
