    torque control means for controlling the drive torque produced by the engine independently of said operation means operated by the driver of the motor vehicle;

    target drive torque calculating means for calculating a target drive torque depending on a lateral acceleration of the motor vehicle;

    operation amount detecting means for detecting an operated amount of said operation means for controlling the drive torque;

    demanded drive torque calculating means for calculating a demanded drive torque based on said operated amount;

    turn torque calculating means for adding said target drive torque and said demanded drive torque at a predetermined ratio to determine a turn target drive torque;

    selecting means for selecting said turn target drive torque as a final target drive torque; and

    electronic control means for controlling said torque control means to equalize the drive torque produced by the engine to said final target drive torque.
