It acheives that torque curve with a less aggressive cam profile and it has smaller valves and ports to keep air velocity up on the low end. The turbo is also TINY and a twin scroll unit. For all these reasons it is a great car to drive around town, but falls flat on its face after 6200 RPM. This kind of power curve is also very hard on the motors since there's tons of torque which stresses the rods substantially, but overall the car feels pretty slow because of the low HP number. But it is effortless to drive with no turbo lag after 2500 RPM. I'd rather have a BRZ motor with an AVO or Edelbrock kit any day. They make great power where you want it, and if you want the power you should be above 4000 RPM anyway to go easier on the rods.
