moving car shot

To achieve that type of shot, you need to use a slow shutter speed, and the camera needs to move along with the car. This means that as the background is moving in relation to the camera, but the car isn't (as the camera is following the car), the background gets blurred.

It looks like those photos were done professionally - to get a shot like that, you would need to have a proper rig - so either the camera was attached to the car, or they had another car or something they took the photo from.

You can get shots like that by using a slow shutter speed, and standing by the side of the road. As the car passes, you pan the camera to follow the car. Some shots I've done before using this method:

As explained in the thread you just linked to, it's done with a rig - essentially mounting the camera on a long boom clamped to the car, which is then taken out from the image in post-processing.

A web site for one of the manufacturers of said rigs shows you how it's done.

edit: One of the masters (and I believe a pioneer) of the technique is the Australian automotive photographer, Easton Chang.

Rig shots are often done at a low speed (walking pace) with a very slow shutter speed.
 
As mentioned in lareneg's post, you can get a similar effect by shooting from another vehicle

1/80 sec at about 40mph
