Actually, both 911 RSR and 911 GT3 R race cars have blind spot monitors, or rather a more advanced version that tracks up to 40 objects, calculates their speeds in real-time, and highlights those that are on collision course, and cost something like $30K. Most pro endurance racers have them for about a decade now. Here you can see one in a corvette 10 racing seasons ago: https://youtu.be/Kf0hSVL6y9A?t=580
But because nostalgic people THINK race cars don't have them, Porsche does not put them in road cars.

Should've seen this response coming. You're talking about full on endurance racing. Those guys are on track up to 24 hours at a time. The difference in performance of the cars on track together call for all kinds of different measures you won't see in any other race series. The monitors serve as a rear view camera, and yes, you could call the flashing arrow a blind spot monitor. I don't think there are too many people (can't say any cause I'm sure you'll find the member((s)) that are endurance racers on here) on this forum that are racing 24 hour races. Surely you've seen the amount of lights flashing and lit up in any endurance race car, which would be a distraction for most that haven't trained to be in such a car with that distraction. So, you're right, you found a race car that has "blind spot monitors". Not common by any means outside of any endurance racer, but that wasn't my point.

Some really ruthless responses. Not necessary.
OP: unfortunately the gt3 is not for you as some of the other more reasonable responses have laid out.
A 911 non gt car is still pretty good with creature comforts minus the hud which isn't really necessary on these cars.
Welcome and good luck!
