Abstract:
1. A motor vehicle, comprising: two drive units for generating a driving torque for the motor vehicle, the two drive units being operable both jointly and separately for generating the driving torque; a driver's intention input device operably configured to be acted upon by a restoring force; a control unit for processing a driver's intention signal from the driver's intention input device and for generating a control signal for controlling the two drive units; wherein the driver's intention input device is operably configured such that a force stage having an increased restoring force exists within an adjusting range of the input device; and wherein the control unit is operably configured such that, starting from a drive operation in which only one of the two drive units is active for generating a positive driving torque, when the force stage is exceeded, a switch-over from the one drive unit to the other drive unit, or a coupling-in of the other drive unit, occurs.
