On a Wednesday afternoon last October officers were chasing the 18-year-old through Frenchs Forest, in Sydney's north, when he smashed the stolen sports car into a ute, police said.

After several months of investigation, the younger driver was arrested at Nowra on Wednesday.

He was charged with several offences including aggravated dangerous driving occasioning death.

Bail was refused and he's due before Central Local Court in March.
