Senior Sergeant Ian Row says the silver Audi is believed to have been stolen from Auckland yesterday.
It was spotted by officers near Onerahi, in Whangarei, just before noon today.
The plates on the car did not match the vehicle and when officers attempted to stop it the driver took off at speed.
Police used road spikes near Maungatapere which punctured one of the tyres.
The car crashed about 400 metres further along the road after failing to take a bend.
