I had a FL D2 S8, was probably the best of the ones i've owned. I'm now on a D3 4.2 V8 and it's technically as quick if not better and has a lot of nice luxuries but the the D2 was just fun and boy did it feel like it could shift.

FE is a bit of a red herring as IT has said. Interesting colour combos and that's about it. Almost *EVERY* advert seems to have it on the later models these days because advertising!

BTW you can spot a later model FL by the gearbox shifter shape. Early ones have a sideways T, laters ones have a kind of dogleg type shape more common with the D3s and IIRC it has a "sport" mode which I always wanted to try.

Had a PF S8 and it was OK, but the tech was a bit basic and it had issues with the gearbox that killed it for me.
Oddly my FL did 220K on the standard gearbox without any servicing. The FL died at 120k
