English term or phrase: conventional shock

The content is about finnancial revenues, and it is part of an explanation about costs and revenues. The word "shock" appears in two context:

"20.000 McLaren units in 2013-2014 is equivalent to the revenue of 600.000 conventional shocks."

And:

The higher revenue is not onçy because of the car shocks, but also because of more conventional vehicles...

Any idea about what shock may mean in these context?

Thanks in advance.
