Question

wolf1728 · Answer

The scale is 1 in 25 which is to say that for every centimeter in length that the model measures, on the actual car it is 25 times that or 25 cm.

nurali · Answer

If the model is 18cm and is 1/25th of size of the actual car, the actual car length is 
18cm∗25=450cm
That's more commonly shown as 4.5m.
