I added some oil last evening, and this morning, the engine started relatively rapidely. Good, but it is not perfect, because in my idea, on every cars, the engine must start immediately, which is not the case with mine. I don't know if adding oil was the solution, but at this stage, I guess that this was perhaps the point. Anyway, the fact is that on my car, when you turn the key on position 2 to start the engine, the system begins to mesure the oil; the engine never starts before the end of the measure. This appear a speciality of my car, and so this is not normal and a problem. I will soon bring the car to a Porsche dealer, to check that and for a service. I will keep you informed.

I don't think adding oil to it everytime is the answer, could be ignition switch, loose ground, starter going bad. Try plugging in an OBDII diagnostic scanner and see if you have any errors.
Take it in for proper checkup. Is this problem repeatable every time?

best
