Step 1
Start by opening photo on Photoshop. Duplicate layer with Ctrl+J. With Polygonal Lasso Tool selected cut out the car from the copied layer.

Step 2
When you have car selected go to Select > Inverse and press Del. If you turn off the visibility of the layer with photo you should have something like this:

Step 3
Turn back on visibility of background layer. We’ll work with the background layer. Go to Filter > Blur > Motion Blur:


Step 4
Select car layer and duplicate it with Ctrl+J. Go to Filter > Blur > Motion Blur for the copied layer:


Select the Eraser Tool with soft-edged brush and erase the blurred layer in the hood area.

Merge layers with car by selecting both layers and pressing Ctrl+E.
Step 5
Now select the wheel rim area with the Polygonal Lasso Tool.

Copy selection to a new layer by pressing Ctrl+J.

Go to Edit > Transformer > Scale to scale the wheel rim to get something similar to my screenshot below.

Go to Edit > Transformer > Warp.

Still with wheel rim selected go to Select > Load Selection. After that apply Filter > Blur > Radial Blur with following settings:


Move wheel rim back to his place and apply Edit < Transformer > Warp again.


Step 6
Repeat step 5 all over for the other wheel rim in the back. In the end merge all layers except background layer and we will have only two layers.
