As the car pulled out on to Penhill Drive it collided with the motorbike.
The 28-year-old motorcyclist, who is from Swindon, sustained multiple injuries and sadly died at the scene.
The driver of the Peugeot, a 24-year-old man from Swindon, has been arrested in connection with the crash and is currently in police custody.
The road was closed for four hours to allow for collision investigation work and recovery of the vehicles involved.
They are appealing for any witnesses to the collision who have not already identified themselves, or who may have seen either vehicle prior to the collision, to contact PC David Williams, from the Roads Policing Unit, on 101 or via Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
