1. An engine control device for controlling an engine based on an operating state of a vehicle, comprising:

  • a basic target torque determinator for setting a target acceleration of the vehicle based on an accelerator pedal operation and determining a basic target engine torque based on the target acceleration of the vehicle;

    a torque reduction demand determinator for determining an existence of a demand to reduce an engine torque based on the operating state of the vehicle other than the accelerator pedal operation;

    a torque reduction amount determinator for determining an engine torque reduction amount according to the operating state when the torque reduction demand is determined to exist;

    a final target torque determinator for determining as a final target torque an engine torque calculated by subtracting the torque reduction amount from the basic target torque when the torque reduction demand is determined to exist; and

    an engine controller for controlling the engine so as to output the final target torque.
