A rapid acceleration control apparatus has a rapid acceleration prime mover rotational speed control section and a rapid acceleration start clutch capacity control section. The rapid acceleration prime mover rotational speed control section executes a rapid acceleration start prime mover rotational speed control that control a rotational speed of the prime mover to a target rotational speed required to achieve the rapid acceleration start when a rapid acceleration start condition exists in which both an accelerator and a brake are simultaneously operated while the vehicle is stopped. The rapid acceleration start clutch capacity control section executes a rapid acceleration start clutch capacity control that decreases a connection capacity of the clutch during the rapid acceleration start prime mover rotational speed control executed by the rapid acceleration prime mover rotational speed control section to suppress heating of the clutch due to the rapid acceleration start primer mover rotational speed control.
