Parent Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) (FCHA.MI) (FCAU.N) will sell up to 10 percent of Ferrari in the IPO and will use proceeds to help pay for its own ambitious turnaround plan to boost global sales to 7 million cars by 2018, and compete with rivals such as BMW and Volkswagen.

The price range, announced in the IPO prospectus on Friday, may satisfy FCA Chief Executive and Ferrari Chairman Sergio Marchionne, who has said Ferrari was worth at least 10 billion euros ($11.4 bln). Some analysts had said it could be just over half that.

In the prospectus filed with the U.S. market regulator, Ferrari said it would offer 17.2 million shares in the IPO, equal to around a 9 percent stake in the sportscar maker. An additional 1.7 million shares may be sold if the greenshoe option is exercised, it added, raising the size of the total offering to a 10 percent stake.

Ferrari, famous for luxury vehicles adorned with its "prancing horse" logo and its Formula One racing team, expects to list on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "RACE". Its Wall Street debut is expected in the second half of October, while FCA plans to spin off the whole of Ferrari next year.

Marchionne wants Ferrari to be priced as a high-flying luxury goods stock, but analysts have questioned whether the capital intensive business deserves the multiples enjoyed by the likes of Prada (1913.HK) and Hermes (HRMS.PA).

Ferrari's float will include a loyalty share scheme for long-term investors, set to tighten the grip on the company by Fiat's founding Agnelli family. The Agnellis, through their holding company Exor (EXOR.MI), and Piero Ferrari together could end up with a voting power of around 50 percent, enabling them to thwart any unwanted takeover bid.
