Methods and systems are provided for controlling yaw of a vehicle while maintaining vehicle speed. In one example, equal and opposite vectoring torques are applied to first and second wheels along with a propulsion torque so that a vehicle yaw moment may be induced without accelerating or decelerating the vehicle.
