The Chunnel is brilliant but anticlimactic. The time taken from driving
off the freeway in England, to driving onto the freeway in France can be
as short as 45 minutes. The shortest similar time on the Dover-Calais
ferries is realistically about 3 hours plus. After the train stops and
the doors open, from moving off in first gear, to freeway on-ramp is
about 30 seconds!

Forget the hovercraft - outdated slow ;-) You want to go on the sea cat:
