Abstract
A control system for an automotive vehicle controls driving torque delivery for driven wheels. The control system basically controls an output torque of an automotive internal combustion engine toward a target engine output torque which is derived on the basis of an accelerator operational magnitude. The target engine output torque can be modified according to associated conditions, such as road friction level, a characteristic of a power train including a torque converter and a power transmission. The control system also performs selection of engine output control and transmission shift control depending upon vehicle driving condition.
