One thing you can do is make a normal version of the car then make a blend shape of what you want wrecked.

This way if it doesn't look like you wanted. You can always delete the blendshape and try again.

I know this is for facial expressions but the same process remains the same

Good luck

You could probably do that through a cloth-sim with some very rigid settings.

Trying something out tends to be a good teacher

ZBrush, move tool, then pinch tool to get started

3ds max: You can use a reactor sim to smash the model. Check this out

What exactly do you mean by busted metal? As in 'totaled da car' as in the images, or more of the crumpled metal on the sides, the same one vans have at night due to cold temperatures as if an alien is about to burst from the frame?
