Abstract: Disclosed is a vehicle control apparatus which can execute a start-up control for improving acceleration performance at the time of starting an internal combustion engine during the running of a hybrid vehicle. When a hybrid ECU determines that a predetermined time has not yet elapsed after termination of the start-up control of the engine, and that the hybrid vehicle is in a high speed, high load condition, but not in a warming-up state, the hybrid ECU sets a value Nupest2 larger than a value Nupest1, that is usually set as a maximum value Krmx of a rise rate of an engine rotational speed.

Abstract: In a variable valve mechanism of an internal combustion engine, when a slider is displaced relative to an input member and an output member in an axial direction, the output member turns relative to the input member in a swing direction, whereby a lift of a valve is increased or reduced. The variable valve mechanism is brought into a lift retaining state when the slider is placed in an idle running range located on a reducing direction side with respect to a boundary position. The lift retaining state is a state where when the slider is displaced in the axial direction, the input member and the output member are displaced together with the slider in the axial direction, so that the relative displacement of the slider and the relative turning of the output member do not occur and the lift of the valve is retained.
