I'd say it's at least 33% smaller.Sorry to be so picky but I'm an artist too...
I thought so too... like BUS large, but here's a random old photo from a Google search (it's a true British built GT40):



From this photo, it looks rather large but then again, it's the 1965 era. I looked at his render again; I think the steering wheel is "too thick" so it appear a tad too large in diameter. I do see your point; in general, it's overall diameter seems too large. He has a "clay" of it from another angle and the clay actually looks OK. The head-on shot of the wheel seems too thick but I wonder if it's the perspective and/or lighting that makes it look larger?
