The apportioning system comprises a transmission including a pair of output elements operatively connected to respective drive shafts and a housing of the transmission being mounted for rotation in response to rotation of the input element. A continuously variable speed ratio path is rotated with the housing, opposite ends of the speed ratio path being operatively connected with the output elements for rotating the output elements with the housing and the speed ratio path. Counter-directional rotation of the output elements wrt the housing is permitted, variation of the speed ratio throughout the continuum of values being applied within the transmission to the speed ratio path between the output elements. Conditions affecting operation of the motor vehicle are sensed. Information obtained from the sensors on operating conditions of the vehicle are processed for determining an apportionment of torque between the output element appropriate for such operating conditions.
