There's a kick-down switch on the throttle that is the difference between the auto shifting at the normal 45km/h shift-point, or anywhere up to 65km/h depending on how long you hold the throttle flat for.

Once you're beyond 45km/h, the instant the kick-down switch is released it will shift into second gear, ie: If you wanna kick the car in the guts but not go all the way out to redline, hold the throttle flat to the floor until you reach say, 55km/h, then release the throttle just enough so that you hear the click of the mechanical kick-down switch being released. The transmission should shift into 2nd gear straight away.
