I’ve got a ‘22 speed, and on a short drive home this morning, I noticed engine temps were at 255f (never seen it above 205). I pulled over and it dropped a decent bit, so decided to try to make it the half mile home. Eventually the engine temp warning came on (at 270), and said to park the car but leave the engine on. That—however, didn’t cool things down, it got up to 284 for a minute or two before I turned it off.

Definitely a coolant leak (trails of fluid behind it, combined with bubbling red coolant in the reservoir).

How screwed is the engine?
