Miles, your 1/6th scale is about right. If 72 inches of the real car corresponds to one inch of the model, it's 1/72nd scale. If 24 inches of the real car corresponds to one inch of the model, it's 1/24th scale. If the real Veyron is 175.7 inches long and the model is 30 inches long, then 5.85 inches of the real car corresponds to one inch of the model, so the scale is 1/5.8th (one five-point-eighth) -- very close to 1/6th.
Dan's point is important, too. Remember that 50% = 1/2, 25% = 1/4, 20% = 1/5, 10% = 1/10, and 5% = 1/20. And your 17% = 1/5.8.
