Ferrari have begun life on the stock exchange after making their Wall Street debut on Wednesday.
10 per cent of the company has been listed by the Fiat-Chrysler group under the New York Stock Exchange ticker label of "RACE".
The car group which also owns Alfa Romeo and Maserati retain an 80 per cent stake in Ferrari, with the Ferrari family owning the remaining 10 per cent.
Floating a chunk of the business helps the firm raise cash to fund expansion for its Alfa Romeo and Maserati brands and scale back its debt.
The United States is Ferrari's biggest market, with about one-third of sales, equal to that of Britain, Germany, Switzerland, Italy and France combined.
