Abstract
A vehicle has a restriction storing device that stores a plurality of restrictions that are respectively created for a plurality of virtual gear ranges, such that, in each of the virtual gear ranges, required driving force as driving force to be applied to a drive shaft corresponding to the same accelerator operation amount tends to be increased as the vehicle speed is higher, and the required driving force corresponding to the same accelerator operation amount tends to be increased as the virtual gear range is shifted to a lower range when the vehicle speed is constant.
