A 64-year-old man was also hit and was taken to hospital in a critical condition.
The usually busy road was shut in both directions whilst emergency services dealt with the incident.
The driver had earlier been caught speeding on the M60 and, after following the vehicle, police attempted to bring it to a stop using emergency equipment on Stockport Road.
However, the driver continued on towards the junction of Kingsway and Wilmslow Road where the car then hit the two pedestrians.
The road was closed throughout the night in both directions and reopened shortly before 7am on Sunday morning.
A 35-year-old man has since been arrested in connection with the incident.
A spokesperson for Greater Manchester Police said: "At around 12.20am this morning (Sunday 20 February), a police patrol sighted a black BMW driving at speed on the M60.
