Abstract
A driving force control apparatus of a motor vehicle including a first set of drive wheels and a second set of drive wheels, e.g., front wheels and rear wheels, which are driven with respective driving forces that are controlled independently of each other. The control apparatus calculates an actual slip rate difference between a slip rate of the first set of drive wheels and that of the second set of drive wheels, and controls distribution of driving force between the first set of wheels and the second set of wheels, based on the slip rate difference.
