Recently, there was a 79 centimeter carnivore footprint found in Europe. That's absolutely enormous. Almost Spinosaurus sized. It very closely resembles that of Torvosaurus and was attributed to it.
Compare it to that of UCMP 137538 the Tyrannosaurus' at 46 centimeters, and that was a T. rex with unusually large feet bigger than those of Sue.
Scaling up from any megalosaur you get a bloody enormous animal over 50 feet long.
Could it be Das Monster von Minden, the 50 foot megalosaur?
Could Torvosaurus be bigger than the 12-13 meters it was previously estimated at?
A freak specimen of a theropod of some kind?

Where did you read this? If this is true then it may be a new species altogether i couldn't imagine a torvosaurus getting past 11 meters. As you said it may be Das Monster but i have also read that das may have only been around 7-8 meters long but it's hard to say weather or not it's credible. it could be as rex fan said distorted or warped from time.

European Torvosaurus sp. was slightly over 13 meters based on a Portuguese skull. American Torvosaurus (tanneri) was only up to 11 though. I heard it mentioned on carnivora on a Torvosaurus thread.
