Say I'm in a car at that speed and would like to take a picture outside my window. What characteristics does the camera need to have?

Antoni was spot on, but if you want to create a clever effect, try a slower speed of 1/125, but change your autofocus servo mode to continous. This will allow your camera to keep the center of frame in focus while everything else from the center to the outside of the frame with a little blur, which can look good. It is especially suited for shots like what you want to achieve. You could either totally freeze motion (Antoni's suggestion), which is good, or allow some blur to show the illusion of motion within a two dimensional image, which is pretty damn cool. Play around with both methods and see which one you like better. Good luck.

Fast shutter speed is part of the answer.
The other issue is how well you "pan" your camera while taking the shot. You have to aim the camera at the subject passing by and keep it aimed while you shoot. It takes practice, but if done right, the object "freezes" within the frame, minimizing the blur.
Here's the problem: If you intend to capture an entire landscape in one shot, even panning will not freeze everything. If you pan to capture the barn, the trees and grasses closer to you will be blurred. If you pan on the closer trees, then the background will be blurred.

This can depend on the angle of the subject you are shooting be it head on or shooting it from a side angle. This will also depend on if you are using a wide angle lens or a telephoto. Plus I will toss a couple more things into the mix, if you are panning or not and what your subject distance is. Also if you decide to use a flash or not.
So your shutter speed can range from 1/60th - 1/2500 or higher and if using a flash this can be 1/50,000 or higher.
So not sure if this answered your question or not but these are some of the things you have to ask yourself when shooting.

Image stabilization (look for IS in camera), fast ISO speed (~800), lots of light (won't work when its dark), fast shutter speed and most importantly a stable hand.

if you have a nikon they usually go up to 8000/sec shutter speed
use 400 or 800ISO film (or digital)
