1. A device for controlling a turning behavior of a vehicle having an engine, wheels and a steering system, comprising:

  • means for detecting operation parameters of the vehicle, including means for detecting running speed of the vehicle;

    means for calculating a standard performance of the turning behavior of the vehicle substantially according to a steering angle input by the steering system and a running speed of the vehicle detected by the running speed detection means;

    means for calculating a deviation of the turning behavior from the standard performance thereof in an amount of decrease of vehicle running speed to be effected with the vehicle for compensating the deviation;

    means for calculating a target decrease of torque of the engine for effecting the vehicle running speed decrease; and

    means for decreasing the torque of the engine according to the target engine torque decrease.
