Vehicular control apparatus and method

A control apparatus of a vehicle, comprising:

• a clutch provided between a driving force source and a drive wheel;
• a clutch actuator that controls a torque transfer power of the clutch based on a predetermined condition;
• a behavior control apparatus that is provided separately from the clutch, that adjusts a physical quantity related to a speed of the vehicle that changes with a control of the torque transfer power of the clutch by the clutch actuator;
• and
• a function determiner that determines a driving force adjusting function or a braking force adjusting function in order to determine if a target torque can be output or if a target regenerative braking force can be generated by the behavior control apparatus, wherein
• the clutch actuator controls the torque transfer power of the clutch based on the predetermined condition and a result of a determination of the driving force adjusting function or the braking force adjusting function provided by the function determiner.
