The Cars of World Trade

This is just some (poor) world-building, and nothing of interest to most people.

World Trade, contrary to what the name implies, is an autarky. This, along with the closed borders has resulted in most products being World Tradian in origin with imports only being afforded by the wealthy. The largest car manufacturer is called Staлиnтwиne which in the native language means horse. They are well known for their economical cars and they were the brand that brought cars to the people of World Trade. They were founded in the communist era. The main luxury car manufacturer is Эпт which means precious in the native tongue. They have seen a huge rise in popularity since the closing of the borders although most of the extremely rich still import their cars. World Trade is also experienced in motorsport having 3 major series:
Series A-1 (hover-bike)
Series B-1 (Rally)
Series Д-1 (Open-wheel).
These series are helped by an abundance of race tracks and the fact that other recreational sports are banned. World Trade also runs an F-1 team known as Wирeve (~winning)(previously Queenbee) Motosport who have won constructors championships.
The most popular World Tradian drivers are:
Aдam Sоrоka (A-1)
Zoya Kuчeр (A-1)
Mиky Тoba (B-1)
Mиkaeл Kиrba (Д-1)
Чelsea Aukeр (Д-1)
Lucia Edan (Ф/F1)
They are so popular that they are all in the top 100 richest in all World Trade and are looked at in the same way as David Beckham is in England. Most cars today are electric although there is not a complete ban on petrol and diesel-powered cars as the Monarch-Elect is a big fan of cars. He also sees it as unnecessary as World Trade's industry already generates more pollution than Mars does as a whole. The national land speed record is 1300 km/h, being held by the Sиoп (speed) IV.
