Two questions I have:

1) What makes it a Shelby?

2) How can it be legal? (as it appears to be designed to decapitate in case of accident)

1) The name

2) Personal vehicle modified (presumably) with acceptance of insurance company

Superformance has a license from Carroll Shelby (from when he was alive) to build replicas of the original Shelby Cobra. They are the only replica maker I'm aware of with a real license to call their car a "Shelby Cobra". All superformance cars are sold without an engine or gearbox, so someone decided to put a tesla motor in rather than the more traditional Ford 351.

Getting vehicles registered in most US states is shockingly easy, and even if you live in a tougher state it's easy to register in another (for example, a huge number of supercars in LA are registered in Montana to avoid taxes and emissions tests). Cobras are deathtraps, but that's a big part of why people still want one 60 years later.
