I'm just brainstorming here, but couldn't you use one camera to generate a material, blur it directionally, and then overlay another camera that culls out everything but a vehicle layer? No idea how it would look but that may be a good conceptual starting point.

You might be overestimating my graphics abilities!! The current motion blur stops when Unity is paused, but when you take an uncompressed screenshot it is shown, but there's not much info about this online so we just accept it

Hmm. I'll throw something together in the next day or two and see how it looks.

Woo skills! Motion blur is conserved when the Timescale is set to 0 in yours? We're using the legacy pipeline with the motion blur from the Post-processing V2 stack

I set this up in the standard 3d project type (not hdrp or urp) using the post stack too. Are you setting the time scale to 0 and moving the camera manually within space? Or are you just freezing / pausing and take a snapshot to generate a file from it?
