Embodiments herein relate to a motor vehicle drive unit (1) and an automotive vehicle (17) comprising such a motor vehicle drive unit (1). An electric motor has a rotor (2) and a main stator (3) rotatably mounted to a support structure (4). A first transmission (5) provides an output to a first wheel axle shaft (6) from the rotor (2). A second transmission (7) provides an output to a second wheel axle shaft (8) from the main stator (3). An auxiliary stator (9) at least partially surrounds the main stator (3) and is held stationary relative to the main rotatably mounted stator (3). Means (10) are provided for controlling the auxiliary stator (9) to add or subtract power to the main rotatably mounted stator (3).
