A car battery can shock you simply because it has stored energy and power. This is normal, but can be dangerous depending on if the person has built up a static charge.

Can a car battery shock kill you?
I am not stating this as a fact, but car batterys have been known to shock people, not kill though. A twelve volt battery will not shock you, I work with 12 volt batteries all the time, but when the current being drawn is so large in a car, the battery will deliver a pretty good shock. I'm not sayig to try it because I don't know what will happen, but the final answer is: no it will definitely not kill you.

Could a car engine cause a shockwave?
Interesting question. If the car's engine cause the car to reach the speed of sound, causing a shock wave, then the engine did indirectly cause a shock wave. The engine itself creating a shock wave however, is highly unlikely if not impossible. The moving parts in a typical combustion engine do not get anywhere near the speed of sound and any car that would reach the speed of sound would most likely have a jet engine like Thrust SSC.
