I mean it doesn't make sense. There is no cracking of a whip involved with a car or it's operation. Is there some other reason why a car can be called a whip?

When the steering wheel was first put into use in automobiles, it was called the "whip". The whip is what you used to control the horses on a stagecoach, hence the analogy. Many years later, various hip hop artists noticed that the Mercedes-Benz logo resembled a steering wheel. They then proceeded to use the old term "whip" to describe any Mercedes-Benz vehicle. The term has now been generalized to classify any expensive automobile.

I don't know. I also wonder why they call them "buckets."
