The new sports car is heavier than usual for a performance automobile, but it is exceptional because of its high-powered engine.

A) usual

B) it is usual

C) one usually is

D) is usual.

E) has been usual
The GMAT is indeed adaptable. Whenever I answer RC, it proficiently 'adapts' itself to mark my 'right' answer 'wrong'.

When something is compared to a subgroup to which it belongs, is usual should be used.
When something is compared to itself, usual is fine

He is faster than is usual for any human being – Is correct.
He is faster than usual today – is correct

One more vote for D
