I think I understand the question... I think ismaelivan is asking why the car has a cobra logo. A mustang is a type of horse, and the old Ford Mustang had a horse icon on it. Then there was the Mustang Cobra, but I think in the old days it still had a horse icon. The new KITT has a cobra on it. So I assume it technically is a Mustang Cobra, although officially it's the Ford Mustang Shelby GT500KR.
Let me know if this analogy is correct:
All Trans Ams are Firebirds. Not all Firebirds are Trans Ams.
All Cobras are Mustangs. Not all Mustangs are Cobras. The new KITT is a Cobra.
I don't know if there is a relationship between a Shelby and a Cobra.

You got it. You must have done well on the analogy section of your S.A.T.s.

Think of the Mustang Shelby Cobra GT500 as a Firebird Trans Am Firehawk. The Shelby is built upon the cobra, and the firehawk is built upon the trans am. Like a limited super deluxe version.

The Kobra is only the Brand Sign from the company Shelby.
It stands for itself.
Shelby is like AMG by Mercedes.
Look here about Carrol Shelby:

I think the guy's asking why the Foundation symbol has been changed from a horse, which is of course the knight chess piece, to a cobra. It stands to reason that the cobra on the Knight 3000 represents the Shelby brand name of the Mustang rather than the Foundation, much like the blacked out arrowhead symbols on the Knight 2000's bowling ball hubcaps represented the Pontiac brand name. The only difference is that the Cobra hasn't been blacked out like the arrowheads were.

Just another of the many flubs going on in this production.
I don't know what's worse the cobra symbol or the car?

HAS the Foundation symbol been changed to a cobra? Where is that information coming from? The only snake I've seen is the one of car, and as far as I know it represents the car and nothing else.

No mate, but I think ismaelivan's second post indicates that he thinks that the cobra now represents the Foundation, rather than the Shelby Mustang.

Shelby invented the Cobra back in the 60´s, so most Shelby influenced cars wear a Cobra badge or name of some sort (look at the Viper... a type of snake). As for the foundation... I do agree that the car should be featuring the Knight logo (maybe not on the outside as that would draw attention, but atleast on the inside). Infact wearing the regular Cobra badges is the perfect disguise to not draw attention from criminals passing by...
