When having determined that an operation of an accelerator operator is initiated at a first timing and the operation amount continues to increase until a second specific timing arrives to become constant at a second timing, vehicle control means which a vehicle control apparatus comprises executes driving force control in such a manner that a time-differential value of controlled driving force during a first period from the second timing to a first terminal timing matches with a time-differential value of controlled driving force at the second specific timing as well as executes braking force control in such a manner that a time-differential value of the controlled braking force during the first period becomes a value more than or equal to a sum of a time-differential value of the controlled braking force at the second specific timing and a time-differential value of operation driving force at the second specific timing.
