To suppress supercharging delay that occurs after torque reduction is made in response to a temporary toque reduction request. A vehicle control device includes a driver request torque detection unit 34 which detects a driver request torque A that is an engine output torque requested by a driver, a restriction torque calculation unit 35 which calculates a restriction torque B that is smaller than the driver request torque A based on an external request, a corrected torque calculation unit 36 which calculates a corrected torque C that is greater than the restriction torque B, and an engine control unit 31 which controls the positions of a throttle valve 5 and an exhaust bypass valve 22. The engine control unit controls the positions of the throttle valve and the exhaust bypass valve based on the driver request torque A during an ordinary drive, and, if a prescribed drive condition is satisfied, controls the position of the throttle valve 5 based on the restriction torque B and controls the position of the exhaust bypass valve 22 based on the corrected torque C.
