Not a misprint... It uses "scavenging technology" apparently? Something to
do with opening the exhaust valves earlier at low rpm so the combustion
helps spin the turbo with more vigour.
The Giulietta QV has 340Nm (and 235BHP) at a slightly higher 1900rpm.
Apparently it has the highest torque per cubic capacity of any production
car at present.
