Why can we immediately spot the difference between a model car and a real one even if there is nothing to compare its size to?

Just take a look at [this picture](https://www.looksmartmodels.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/lamborghini-huracan-performante-spyder_03.jpg), you can tell immediately that its a model car even though there is nothing in the picture to compare its size to. My guess is that the paint isn’t authentic to our eyes, but are there other reasons as well?

You learn this as part of 3d graphics
To put off a realistic model you need 3 levels of detail, large , medium and small.

A model car can’t do small easily because it already is small, so without 3 levels of detail which a full size object has, you can see something off
