Interesting. Found this on the internets: 

"characteristic dimensions: outside length: 5674 mm / 223.4 in, wheelbase: 3099 mm / 122 in"

223.4 in works out to 9.31 inches in 1/24 scale and 8.94 inches in 1/25 scale.

122 in would be 5.08 inches 1/24 and 4.88 inches 1/25.

Glad I could help.  & believe me, I don't know this stuff off the top of my head. There are a few sites where you can convert 1:1 dimensions to scale. Google is a great invention.

Another way to convert the dimensions.

Take the length in inches and divide it by 24 or 25.

Example:

223.4/25= 8.936"
