A driving power control system for a vehicle which minimizes the shock due to a gear change by keeping a driving force constant throughout the shifting, resulting in high drivability. The system includes a mechanism for controlling the engine power to keep driving force unchanged, mechanisms for respectively keeping the acceleration and driving force constant throughout the shifting, and a second throttle valve for controlling the engine power.
