"More" is a fused determiner-head NP in a partitive construction. The NP "more of the most amazing images of cars" is partitive in the sense that it denotes a subset of the set consisting of the most amazing images of cars". Since the subset is plural, so must the verb be.

more can be understood as multiple in such partitive constructions with a plural countable noun:
We questioned 100 people. More of them like sunshine than sleet.
and as singular with a singular uncountable noun:
The company spends a lot of money. More of it goes to energy than to taxes.
