A Sydney man caught driving more than 220km/h has been remanded in custody days after his licence was reinstated for previous speeding offences.

Officers on patrol clocked a Subaru WRX at 222km/h on the M4 motorway at Eastern Creek, in Sydney's west, about 12.30am (AEST) on Thursday.

The posted speed limit on the stretch of road is 100km/h.

They chased the vehicle and pulled it over a short time later.

The 28-year-old male driver was charged with reckless driving, speeding in a dangerous manner and exceeding the speed limit by more than 45km/h.

Police also suspended his licence.

A search of the man's driving record revealed his licence had only been reinstated 48 hours prior to the alleged offences.

He had been serving a suspension for previous speeding offences.

The man was refused bail and is expected to appear in Blacktown Local Court on Thursday.
