Michael Schumacher will be in charge of unveiling the new Mercedes DTM Race Car

As a proper German brand, we all knew, or at least suspected, that a brand like Mercedes must be keeping an ACE up its sleeve to be presented at an event as important for all German manufacturers as the Frankfurt Motor Show.

Well, it seems the wait has been worth it, since we have learned today that the German star brand will send no fewer than its two Formula 1 drivers (Michael Schumacher and Nico Rosberg) to the presentation of the new C-Class Coupe, which will represent the brand in the 2012 season of the German DTM.

To warm up the atmosphere, nothing better than a video showing a friendly Gary Paffet, Mercedes driver in the touring car championship, who is happy to show us certain details of the latest beast created by the German star brand, a vehicle that will have the task of competing and making a good showing for a brand that must face competitors such as the new Audi A5 or a particularly devastating M3 DTM.
