An ECU executes the step S100 of detecting an intake air amount QA and an
ignition timing IT, the step S200 of calculating an estimated engine
torque TE from QA and IT, the step S300 of detecting the engine rotation
speed NE and the turbine rotation speed NT, the step S400 of calculating
the speed ratio E of the torque converter 210, the step S500 of
calculating a torque capacity C from the speed ratio, the step S600 of
calculating a reference torque TP(0) from the torque capacity C, the step
S700 correcting the reference torque TP(0) into TP based on a map, the
step S900 setting TE as the estimated engine torque if TP is greater than
TE, and the step S1000 setting TP as the estimated engine torque if TP is
not greater than TE.
