Not faster than a speeding bullet, but T-Rex could outrun a footballer:Tyrannosaurus rex would have been able to outrun a footballer, according to computer models used to estimate running speeds of dinosaurs
The work used data taken directly from dinosaur fossils, rather than referring to previous work on modern animals.
The University of Manchester study published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B, shows T. rex had a top running speed of 8m/s (18mph). (BBC)
