it's a rendering by ULSAB-AVC (Ultra Light Steel Auto Body-Advanced Vehicle Concepts) made in 2002: for a Mercedes Class C?

That's partly correct. ULSAB was the project name, so it's not made by them.
It's not made by or for Mercedes either.

I lock this for you to give it another try. If your next guess is wrong I'll unlock it again.

Porsche engineering is correct. I don't know if it was the Porsche US agency, but various parts of this project were apparently done by US engineers.

I have it listed as Porsche ULSAB-AVC, so I declare this puzzle as solved and award another point to your score.

If that's a company name, no this is not. It's also not a hypercar in any other sense of the word.

Electric?
No, this was not slated for any electric options as far as I'm aware.

I don't believe it was, certainly not that I can find.

No they were not involved.

Chrysler?

Not by Chrysler, no.
