Stromer hypothesized that ''C. saharicus'' was around the same size as the [[Tyrannosauridae|tyrannosaurid]] ''[[Gorgosaurus]]'', which would place it at around {{convert|8|-|9|m}} long, based on his specimen SNSB-BSPG 1922 X 46 (now ''[[Tameryraptor]]''). This individual was around 15% smaller than the neotype,{{Sfn|Nothdurft|Smith|2002|p=109}} the latter was estimated to be {{convert|12|-|12.5|m}} in length and approximately {{convert|5|-|7|MT|ST}} in body mass.<ref name="Henderson&Nicholls2015">{{cite journal |last1=Henderson |first1=D.M. |last2=Nicholls |first2=R. |year=2015 |title=Balance and Strength—Estimating the Maximum Prey-Lifting Potential of the Large Predatory Dinosaur ''Carcharodontosaurus saharicus'' |journal=The Anatomical Record |volume=298 |issue=8 |pages=1367–1375 |doi=10.1002/ar.23164 |pmid=25884664 |s2cid=19465614|doi-access=free }}</ref><ref name="G.S.Paul2016" /><ref name="seebacher2001">{{cite journal |last1=Seebacher |first1=Frank |title=A new method to calculate allometric length-mass relationships of dinosaurs |journal=Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology |date=March 26, 2001 |volume=21 |issue=1 |pages=51–60 |doi=10.1671/0272-4634(2001)021[0051:ANMTCA]2.0.CO;2 }}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |title=Tyrannosaurid Paleobiology |last1=Hurlburt |first1=G.
