Most cars have their rev limit set pretty conservatively. You won't hurt it by running it to the redline once in a while. You just don't wanna be the moron banging off the limiter on a regular basis since it leads to more wear over time and it is more stress on engine parts so if there is a weak link somewhere, it's more likely to fail at higher rpms. But as previously stated, you're perfectly fine assuming the engine is pretty healthy. (Which it should be on such a new car)
