SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING DRIFT DRIVING OF ELECTRIC VEHICLE

Disclosed is a drive system torque control apparatus of an electric vehicle including a controller configured to generate torque commands to apply a driving torque to rear wheels to control the vehicle in a drift driving state, based on a demand torque, and front and rear wheel motors configured such that operation thereof is controlled depending on the torque commands generated by the controller to output torques to drive the vehicle, wherein the controller generates a rear wheel torque command having a torque value in a driving direction based on the demand torque, and a front wheel torque command having a torque value in a regenerative braking direction, and allows the vehicle to drift by a regenerative braking torque by the front wheel motor and the driving torque by the rear wheel motor depending on the generated front and rear wheel torque commands.
