new TT RS - no running in process!?

[PinkFatBunny]

colleague has just picked up a new TT-RS - great looking car and does tempt me away from my M4. But when I asked him about taking it steady and running the engine in he said the dealer told him that as long as he didn't red line it in the first few hundred miles he'd be fine and can drive it however he likes.

Is this the norm with high end Audis?

I know BMW M's you got told to take it steady until the running in service at 1500miles.
