Abstract
A vehicle control apparatus includes a PHEV-ECU containing a measuring unit which measures the amount of torsional stress on the front drive shafts in a parking lock state and a control unit which controls the torque of the front motor. When the parking lock state is released, the torque acting as a load on the rotation of the first motor upon the release of the torsional stress on the drive shaft, is determined based on the torsional stress measured. Further, the front motor is controlled to output the determined torque.
