The L.i 125 Special, S.X 150 and 200 were all replaced by the new Bertone designed Lambretta G.P (D.L.) range. The GP was offered in three engine sizes, 125, 150 and 200, which had many improvements over its predecessors. This model for most markets was called the DL, but in the UK and a few other markets the model was called the Gran Prix. This was owing to the fact that in the late 1960�s Formula 1 racing was in its heyday in the UK with drivers such as Jackie Stewart were big news and Lambretta Concessionaires wanted to market the new model in a way to match its sporting looks.

The newly designed body was shorter and sleeker, giving the GP/DL more sportier looks, slimmer leg shields, shorter horn casting, a rectangular headset and light unit was also used. Rear light was changed to a plastic item with ribs in it, forks, which were 1 inch shorter, wheels and hubs were all painted silver. The GP200 gained a disc brake and front dampers, again all painted in a Fiat 690 Silver. Black trims and rubbers we fitted a break away form the normal grey Innocenti had used before. The sleek side panels featured no badges or flashes, but instead wore black stripes, and small plastic grilles inset into an indent in the side panels. All side panels for these models were now clip on, as the very last SX models. A trimmed and restyled front mudguard was fitted which all blended to give a sportier image for the new model. Ink splats (supposedly due to an argument when Bertone threw his pen down on the plans after an argument with Innocenti, over trim colours) were the main logo, except in the UK where chequered flags were used to accompany the Gran Prix name. The rear frame badges from previous models were replaced by a grille.A small Innocenti I logo was on the horn casting, and an Innocenti thin strip type badge was fitted on the rear of the frame.
