The translation of E-Tron a.k.a. Audi’s fully electric range and to be accurate étron in French is... turd.
That should get a few smiles as you pop out of the tunnel at the English Channel.

For once ‘Clarkson’ has made a valuable point.

Yup, but they still call it the e-tron in France.

Re: Meanwhile, in France...
Love this stuff. And we all know perhaps the most famous one of all - the Chevy Nova in South America. 
Currently running:
18 plate Lamborghini Huracan Performante (5.2l of V10 naturally aspirated craziness)
67 plate RS6 Performance (fully loaded)
66 plate Range Rover Autobiography (for wafting around)
16 plate Mini Cooper S convertible (lots of fun but rather skittish when thrashed)
Favourite car ever owned:
1971 Citroen DS21 - The Goddess (pure art on wheels)

Of course, not forgetting the Mitsubishi Starion.
So called when a Japanese executive called by phone to tell the US plant managerial team the new car was to be called ‘Stallion’ just like the Ford Mustang. The chap had a rather thick accent and his English wasn’t the best, hence STARION ha-so...
