Can someone who has built this set tell me the car's EXACT length when completed?
Before I start building it, I need to know if it will fit on any of my shelves.
All the information I find online is phrased in approximations, and that won't
do.

Zoom in on one of the set's pictures and count the studs.

Can someone who actually owns the set help me please?

Brickset says: “58.2 x 37.8 x 16.1 cm (22.9 x 14.9 x 6.3 in)”
BUT, on the picture of the box (still on Brickset), we can see that: (see
pic, 60.8 cm).
I counted the studs and found “about 76,” which is 60.8 cm.
Now, that’s the smallest length. I guess you’d rather have it a bit turned,
not stuck straight between the walls.

Dimensions at Brickset are those of the packaging, not the model.

Thanks. That picture is very helpful. My shelf measures 59 cm, so if I can
fit it on there at all, I will definitely have to turn it.

I hope you have the depth because it looks pretty rectangular to me, so, at the
minimum, you’ll need to turn it so that the turquoise diagonal becomes the blue
one.
The real width is 24 studs, so we have a rectangle of 24x76.
The angle between the diagonals is (2× Atan(24/76) =) 35°. And, therefore, the
length of the (big) red line is (2 × hypot(12,38) × sin(17.5° + 35°) =) 58.8 studs =
47 cm.
(Because the corner starts at 17.5° from the horizontal and is at hypot(12,38)
from the center (= radius) and you turn it 35°, so the corner ends at 17.5°+35°.
So we take the sinus and double it to account for the opposite corner.)
That means that:
— If you turn the car by less than 35°, it will need more room than when it was
not turned.
— If you turn it by exactly 35°, it will need 60 cm × 47 cm.
— If you turn it by more than 35°, it will need less than 60 cm in width but
more than 47 cm in depth.
You may be able to shave a cm or two because the front of the car is a bit rounded.

The shelf is a tad over 29 cm deep. Guess I'll just build the thing and
hope for the best!
Take note of the fact the WHEELS need ground to stand on, the front and back
of the car are BEYOND the points the wheels need to be.
The WHEEL-base needs shelfgrounding. And that base is far less (about 10cm based
on the pictures) from the 59 cm the shelf is wide.
So there might be more solutions to this placing issue than one might think,
depending on your demands regarding aesthetics .
