Overview

The Scottsdale Grand Tour is a private, collector-focused driving experience curated by The Exotics Network in collaboration with RM Sotheby’s during Arizona Car Week.

Designed for an approved group of owners and serious enthusiasts, the Grand Tour blends precision driving, desert scenery, and rare access into a single, tightly composed day. From a private estate departure to a police-escorted rally through the Sonoran Desert, the experience is built around pace, flow, and intention — with direct access to one of the most significant auction moments of the week.

Event Highlights

Curated Welcome & Private Departure

The day begins at a private estate in North Scottsdale, where guests gather for a curated welcome reception, light hospitality, and a drivers’ briefing. This controlled start sets the tone for the experience — focused, composed, and intentionally paced.

Police-Escorted Desert Rally

Participants depart together on a scenic, police-escorted rally through the Sonoran Desert. The route is designed to highlight Arizona’s natural beauty while maintaining structure, safety, and cohesion throughout the drive.

Drive Distance & Duration

The Scottsdale Grand Tour includes a police-escorted drive lasting approximately 2 hours, covering 82.59 miles through the Sonoran Desert. Participants should plan accordingly for time, comfort, and fuel needs prior to departure.

Bartlett Lake Photo Moment

Midway through the tour, the group pauses at Bartlett Lake for a brief public-facing showcase and staged photo opportunity. Set against the desert landscape and waterline, this moment captures the scale and rarity of the lineup in one of the region’s most striking backdrops.

Arrival in Formation

The Grand Tour concludes with a coordinated arrival at the Arizona Biltmore, where participants receive reserved premium access and a seamless transition into the next phase of the day.

The Destination — RM Sotheby’s Reception

The final destination of the Scottsdale Grand Tour is an exclusive reception hosted by RM Sotheby’s, placing TEN guests directly inside the heart of Arizona Car Week.

Upon arrival, participants receive VIP access to RM Sotheby’s Agave Social Hour, along with a private preview of the auction inventory — one full day before the cars cross the block. Bidder registration fees are waived for TEN guests, reinforcing the strength of the TEN × RM Sotheby’s collaboration and the event’s collector-first positioning.

This partnership connects the TEN driving community directly with the global collector market at a moment when attention, access, and opportunity converge.
