Depends on the automatic, of course!
Just today I drove an older Audi A4 3.0L automatic with a "manual mode" that would allow me to short shift into top gear at almost half the road speed compared to the programming in automatic mode.
And it would hold that lower RPM under high engine load, unless I
literally floored the accelerator to activate a downshift.
