The invention relates to a method and a device for controlling the cornering speed of a vehicle, with determination of the lateral acceleration and of the speed of the vehicle. In order to achieve a simple but effective capability of adjusting the vehicle speed to an optimum value, the yaw angular velocity is additionally determined, and a body slip angle is determined from the lateral acceleration, yaw angular velocity and vehicle speed. The body slip angle is compared with a threshold value. If the body slip angle exceeds this threshold, the set speed of the vehicle is reduced from the instantaneous actual speed, in a manner proportional to the body slip angle. If the body slip angle is below the threshold, the speed is released once again, or in other words the set speed is carried to the actual value of the speed; the driver can then accelerate once again. Adjustment of the set speed is achieved via adaptation of the engine torque. If the actual and set speeds differ, the engine torque is varied by a PD controller in such a way that the actual speed is adjusted to the set speed.
