Cars since the 90's have had modern fuel injection and computer software to modulate fuel and air intake, so running a cold engine at high RPM is not punishing to a modern engine, as it was with an old carburetted engine that basically just dumped a far too rich fuel/air mixture into the engine at start up. Add to this the modern design and machining of engines takes into account harsh cold start ups because it's the norm these days.
