A drive force control system to improve efficiency of a vehicle by controlling motors connected to drive wheels. A controller is configured to: calculate a total required torque of the drive unit; obtain combinations of a first interim torque of a first motor and a second interim torque of a second motor to achieve the total required torque; select a combination of the first interim torque and the second interim torque to minimize an output of a power source; and output the first interim torque of the first motor and the second interim torque of the second motor based on the selected combination.
