The Panamera range is growing—in more ways than one. Porsche has revealed six new Panamera models in advance of the cars’ official debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show next week, stretching the sport sedan’s lineup both upmarket and downmarket at the same time.

On the high end, Porsche is once again rolling out long-wheelbase versions of the Panamera for those, for whatever perverse reason, would rather ride in the backseat than take the wheel.

In revelations that could jeopardize the company's pending $4.8 billion acquisition by US telecom giant Verizon, the internet pioneer said it was trying to pin down when it first knew its system had been breached and whether hackers gave themselves a way to get back into accounts whenever they wished.

Paris reeled after learning that men with bombs and guns had attacked popular bars, France's national stadium and the Bataclan concert hall.
