Abstract

A vehicle control apparatus calculates a target speed value of an engine rotational speed that is required to provide a required torque value of an engine brake torque, and controls shifting of an automatic transmission such that the engine rotational speed is approximated to the target speed value of the engine rotational speed. The vehicle control apparatus determines whether the target speed value exceeds a predetermined threshold value. When the target speed value exceeds the predetermined threshold value, the vehicle control apparatus controls the shifting of the automatic transmission such that the engine rotational speed is held not higher than the predetermined threshold value, and controls a throttle valve such that the throttle valve is opened.
