An ECU executes a program including the steps of: detecting engine speed NE based on a signal transmitted from an engine speed sensor; calculating engine speed NE with dead time of the engine with respect to a target output torque removed; calculating engine speed NE reflecting the dead time of the engine with respect to the target output torque; correcting the actual engine speed NE in accordance with a difference between the engine speed with dead time removed and the engine speed reflecting the dead time; and setting the target value of output torque in accordance with the corrected engine speed NE.
