Here are few notes, trivias, and references found in Kamen Rider Drive inside and outside of the Kamen Rider Series.

Knight Rider
The show is a tribute to the TV series Knight Rider, giving another tagline, "Kamen Rider meets Knight Rider".
 * The titular Rider of the series along with the Rider Machine is a homage to K.I.T.T.

Comics

 * The advent of Gold Drive in the show is a reference to DC Comics villain Reverse-Flash in terms of color scheme, serving as a counterpart to the main hero (The Flash and Drive.)

Anime and Manga

 * With Banno being portrayed by voice actor Masakazu Morita, his personality mirrors that of Zangetsu, the Zanpakuto spirit who is Ichigo Kurosaki's inner Hollow from the anime/manga, Bleach. Banno's ability to possess a Roidmude's body as first demonstrated in episode 41 is similar to how Zangetsu takes over Ichigo under certain circumstances.
