Yesterday's big announcement of Maybach being replaced by the Mercedes-Benz S-Class has created quite a stir in the automotive world. We have just received the first video of the new German sedan, set to replace the uber-luxury brand in 2013. The upcoming redesigned S-Class sedan seen here has been fitted with plenty of camouflage as it is unloaded from a truck and tested on the road during a rainy day.

The Mercedes flagship sedan will receive six variants as the S-Class range will undergo a complete redesign. Two rumored models are a four-door convertible and a long-wheelbase model.
