An [[Nuvolari (TV channel)|Italian pay-TV channel]] featuring motor sports is also named "Nuvolari".

In the 1961 ''[[The Twilight Zone (1959 TV series)|The Twilight Zone]]'' episode, "[[A Game of Pool (1961)|A Game of Pool]]", Tazio Nuvolari is referenced by [[Jonathan Winters]] (Fats Brown) when talking to [[Jack Klugman]] (Jessie Cardiff) about great men in history.

Nuvolari was mentioned in 1969 comedy film ''[[Monte Carlo or Bust!]]'' when Angelo Pincilli and Marcelo Agosti, two Italian policemen taking part in the Monte Carlo Rally, hope to become as famous as Nuvolari and land speed record holder [[Malcolm Campbell]] by winning the race.

The 1976 album ''[[Automobili]]'' by Italian singer-songwriter [[Lucio Dalla]], included the song "Nuvolari", with lyrics by poet [[Roberto Roversi]].

A [[6 Metre|Six Metre]] racing yacht built in the 1978 for Luca and Tony Bassani was named Nuvolari in honour of the racing driver. That yacht was restored in 2016 and currently races in Victoria, BC.
