Mercedes Benz manufacturer Daimler will go ahead with earlier plans to produce 10,000 electric-powered vehicles by 2012, according to Thomas Weber, director for research and development at Daimler.

 Thundering out of the Mercedes-AMG  plant in Affalterbach, Germany, the C63 AMG dominates the C-segment that has previously been led by the BMW M3. To go after the likes of the M3, RS 4, and Lexus IS F, would appear to be a very long and misguided shot, but Mercedes pulls it off and then some.
