I had a good look at a de-skinned Veyron in our Studio. It's very compact!
That "car in the pond" is going to take a lot of fixing before it runs again.
If any underbody part moves 2 cm then you are inside the next part. Propably a total write-off.

Typically, any flood car will be a write off because alll electronics will have to be replaced. Then you have all interior panels/seats and the engine is probably hydrolocked along with the trans and rearend.....yeah it should be a write off.

Yes, but at $1.3 Million each (or whatever it cost with all the options), you can do a lot of repair work.
