I guess it really depends on the manufacturer - some makes deliver the cars already run in (on the dyno)
Personally I would avoid really hard driving and I would avoid travelling at a contstant speed/rev range for long periods. i.e. Drive it normally without redlining and on the motorway give it the occasional blat up and down the speed range.
Brakes get bedded in from heat cycles so a few sharp stops from speed probably wouldn't hurt to give it some hard braking.
Again, this is all based on what people have told me - so ignore if incorrect!
