1 - Never used. Sounds grammatically wrong.
2 - Used but formal. Someone investigating a serious situation would phrase it that way.
3 - Overly complicated.
An informal version of 2 would be Brain's version: 'Whose car did she get into?'

I would say “Whose car is the one that she got into?” sounds a bit clunky and awkward. The other two options are okay, but in my opinion the most natural way of phrasing this would be “Whose car did she get into?”
