I don't know if they still have them, but a friend's Porsche 911L (yes, that is an L, a model only sold briefly in the USA about 1968 while adapting to US smog regulations!) has an oil LEVEL gauge, so you don't just get a warning but a pretty good readout of the whole level. That car has a dry-sump lubrication system, pumping oil out to a cooler, maybe they thought there was more chance of a leak...? But I think several high performance engines come with oil level gauges.
