> If Turkey intends to sell domestic cars at lower taxes than imported / ones manufactured by foreign companies in Turkey, then it can expect repercussions in its free trade deals with other countries

Who would adjudicate such a dispute? The WTO can no longer hear appeals on trade disputes, because there is only one judge left. Three judges are required to hear cases.

There are normally seven judges, but the US under Bush and Obama used its power to slow down appointments to replace judges whose terms expired, and under Trump to completely stop such replacements. Earlier this month, the terms of two of the remaining three expired.

If there's no abjudication, then there is just retaliation. I.e. other countries will apply punitive tariffs to Turkish (car) imports.

Good luck producing an entirely new car model for domestic consumption only. Even when country is as big as Turkey, it will not be able to compete in scale, because in automobile industry, scale is very important.
