ABSTRACT:
A turning control apparatus for a vehicle that improves turning ability while avoiding degradation of acceleration ability is provided.The turning control apparatus comprises: a driving torque controller (31) for adjusting driving torque between a left and right wheels (14L and14R); a unit (62) for calculating a necessary yaw momentum value indicating degree of necessary yaw momentum for the turning of the vehicle; and a clipping unit (63) for clipping the necessary yaw momentum value as a target yaw momentum at a maximum yaw momentum value, which is defined according to difference between rotation speeds of inside and outside wheels, if the necessary yaw momentum value is over the maximum yaw momentum value.The controller adjusts driving torque of the left and right wheels to generate target yaw momentum at the vehicle corresponding to the target yaw momentum value obtained by the clipping unit.
