1. An output control apparatus for a vehicle comprising:

  • torque adjusting means for adjusting driving torque independent of manipulation by a driver of the vehicle;

    driven wheel speed detection means for detecting rotational speed of driven wheels of the vehicle;

    reference torque setting means for setting a reference driving torque according to said driven wheel speed detected by said driven wheel speed detection means;

    driving wheel speed detection means for detecting rotational speed of driving wheels of the vehicle;

    slip detection means for detecting a slip amount of the driving wheels according to said driving wheel speed detected by said driving wheel speed detection means and said driven wheel speed detected by said driven wheel speed detection means;

    steering angle detection means for detecting a steering angle of the vehicle;

    steering angle-dependent lateral acceleration calculation means for calculating a steering angle-dependent lateral acceleration estimated to generate in the vehicle according to said steering angle detected by said steering angle detection means;

    turning correction means for correcting said slip amount so that said slip amount detected by said slip detection means increases in association with an increase in said steering angle-dependent lateral acceleration calculated by said steering angle-dependent lateral acceleration calculation means;

    correction torque setting means for setting a correction torque according to said slip amount corrected by said turning correction means;

    driving torque correction means for correcting said reference driving torque set by said reference driving torque setting means by said correction torque to calculate a target driving torque; and

    torque control means for controlling said torque adjusting means so that an actual driving torque is equal to said target driving torque calculated by said driving torque correction means.
