You'll definitely want to briefly down-shift to 1st for that (I recommend my combo Manual-Auto double-clutch method).  First gear redlines at 47 mph.

Do you really have to do all that to get it in 1st smoothly ? this sound from another age . Even on a non automatic rew matching car I manage to get into first quite smoothly just by heal toeing ( or just manual new matching ) Ok, on some of the boxes the change is a little slow as you can't push the 1st gear in too quickly because it is harder . 

But on the Gt4 gearbox , the auto rev matching is supposedly  there to make the gear drop a piece of butter and instant Smiley
