It looks to me as if that's the effect he's going for, to bring attention to the car and give the feeling of speed. If that's not what he's attempting, then I think that he needs to take more of the blur out, perhaps.

The attention on the accuracy of the mountain will take away the focus on the car. Of course, the objective might be to show the car in a scenic setting. If that's the case, then he needs to bring up detail on the mountain and fog/clouds.

There are several "legitimate" ways to go with with this picture. I just assumed from his first changes that he was trying to focus on the car and give more feeling of speed.

BTW, the color balance, as adjusted, of the car is spot on, IMHO.
