Fiat Chrysler Automobiles said on Thursday that it had filed with regulators to spin off Ferrari, the Italian luxury sports car maker, in an initial public offering in the United States.

The automaker said that it would seek to list the shares of the business, to be known as Ferrari N.V., on the New York Stock Exchange.

Fiat Chrysler said the number of shares to be offered and the potential price range had yet to be determined, but any proposed offering was not expected to exceed 10 percent of Ferrari’s outstanding shares.

It said that, after the offering, it expected to own about 80 percent of Ferrari, and about 10 percent would be owned by Piero Ferrari, the son of the Ferrari founder Enzo Ferrari, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
