You still won't blow the engine though.
There is a rev limiter that electronically prevents the engine from going past it's true built in rev limit. On accel, at red line, it will just bounce as the rev limiter kicks in.
In an AT the ECU won't let you select a gear that's too low, such that will the gear will cause the rpm's to go beyond red line. That's a mechanical type of over rev, and in the MT world that's called a "money shift".
