Could at Rex bite through a car?

Despite a jointed appearance, paleontologists now think the dinosaur must have had a stiff skull to deliver its crushing blows. The bone-shattering bite of a Tyrannosaurus rex could have crushed a car, delivering up to six tons of pressure to its hapless victims.

Can a car outrun at Rex?

The size and weight of the massive predator means the T. rex would not have been able to run. Rather than clocking up speeds that could outpace a car, the beasts likely only reached walking speeds of around 5 meters per second (18 kph/11 mph), meaning that even on foot, a human may have been able to outrun it.

How strong would a T. rex bite be?

rex's bite, the result was “quite surprising,” Bates told us: a maximum bite force of almost 12,800 pounds, about the equivalent of an adult T. rex's body weight (or 13 Steinway Model D concert grand pianos) slamming down on its prey. That would make T. rex the hardest-biting terrestrial animal ever known.

How much damage can a T. rex do?

The results illustrate just how much damage T. rex could inflict with its teeth. "Through incredible, nearly 8,000-pound bite forces and record-breaking, 431,000 pounds per square inch tooth pressures, T. rex regularly scored, deeply punctured, and even sliced through bones," Gignac said.
