1. A vehicle comprising:
an input member that is an output shaft of an internal combustion engine;
an output member that is connected to a pair of drive wheels in a torque transmittable manner;
a reaction mechanism that establishes a reaction torque; and
a differential mechanism comprising
an input element that is connected to the output shaft,
an output element that is connected to the output member, and
a reaction element that is connected to the reaction mechanism to apply the reaction torque established by the reaction mechanism; and
a torque converter including a pump impeller connected to the output shaft and a turbine runner connected to the output element, that is arranged between the input member and the output member to deliver the torque from the input member to the output element while multiplying the torque.
