Abstract

A vehicle motion control apparatus which is configured to control a motion of a vehicle comprising a plurality of apparatuses, each of which is configured to selectively control a slip angle or a yaw rate, is provided with: a behavior controlling device which is configured to perform behavior control in which a plurality of apparatuses are controlled such that a slip angle and a yaw rate are a set target slip angle and a target yaw rate, respectively; a turning state quantity specifying device which is configured to specify a turning state quantity of the vehicle; and a selecting device which is configured to select at least one of the slip angle and the yaw rate to be prioritized, on the basis of the specified turning state quantity in a case where the behavior control needs to be performed by one of the plurality of apparatuses. The behavior controlling device controls the one apparatus such that the selected one has the target value corresponding to the selected one, in the case where the behavior control needs to be performed by the one apparatus.
