I honestly don't think regen is going to be an option in your Lincoln. The largest setup available (at a "reasonable" price) is the AC50/Curtis combo, which will not suffice when it comes to moving a whale like a Lincoln around at any speed for any length of time. I highly recommend going with a gigantic DC setup or you will end up disappointed. An AC50 will not provide the spirited acceleration you desire. And the "talk" out the is that regen braking really doesn't gain you more range vs simply spending that money on more lithium.
